Over decades of death reviews and inquests into domestic homicides / femicides, recommendations have pointed repeatedly to the need for effective community coordination that include high-risk tables to reduce the risks associated with escalating violence. In Ontario, the government funds 48 Violence Against Women Coordinating Committees (VAWCCs) across the province. The course will explore ideas toward strengthening VAWCCs through restructuring and look at an example in Perth County where they have implemented a high-risk table that is led by the shelter.
